PEER TO PEER MUSIC SHARING

The MS300 contains a special music sharing feature that allows two MS300 Music Servers located on the same network to share their music library into two independent zones. The Music Guide from the second MS300 is merged into the Music Guide of the ﬁrst MS300 to create one seamless Music Guide for browsing and playing all of your music. This effectively can double the capacity of your MS300 using one MS300 as the master and one as a second zone or “slave” server.

You can connect any combination of two MS300 Music Servers that have been upgraded to the latest MS300 Features Package.

Follow these steps to connect your MS300 to another MS300 Music Server:

1.Press the SETUP key on the remote.

2.Select the Network menu.

3.Select the Remote Server Connection menu.

4.Select one of the available MS300 servers from the server list.

5.Select the Save button to save your selection.

When you return to the Music Guide you will have access to all your music from both MS300s merged into one Music Guide. The “Location” ﬁeld in the Music Guide will show you where each music title is located.

Repeat the above steps using the other MS300 to access the ﬁrst MS300’s music from the second MS300.
